Long weekend in Kołobrzeg. Old town

by Natalie Kjaergaard

Kołobrzeg was established in the 10th century and expanded during the Middle Ages. About 80% of the town was destroyed in 1945, by the end of WWII. One of the few buildings left was the Old Town Hall from the 19th century:

I stayed in the old town, and thought it would be interesting to experience more of it. One day I dedicated a couple of hours to just walking around. A modern sculpture of a girl taking a selfie, I loved it:

Interesting combination – an ATM and a beauty salon:

Old Water Tower from the 19th century, today a brewery and a restaurant:

I tried to eat at home, so that I would eat smaller portions. Not that I succeeded, but at least I tried ? Potato pancakes – they tasted so good!

Pedestrian area of the old town (street where I stayed) was full of shops and restaurants:

The red brick building on the photo below was a tenement house from the 15th century. Completely destroyed during the WWII, it was carefully restored in 1957 – 1963. Nowadays, it is a museum.

By the end of that street, right in the heart of the town, there was a military museum:

I didn’t want to go. I’ve seen enough of military museums, there are too many weapons in the world, and I’d rather spend my lifetime on something else, like … beach ?

And beaches in Kołobrzeg and the coast in general were so clean and beautiful.

Walking back home in the evening, I stopped by the Post Office – nice building and lots of roses:

At home, I was having a bath every morning and every evening. The bathtub was super modern and comfortable, and I just enjoyed that relaxation time I gave to myself:
